Kat's Interview: Dr. Marc Sorenson, Vitamin D Scholar
This kat found Dr. Marc Sorenson through a happenstance chat with his wife,
Vicki Sorenson, who raves about our Probiotics 16 (more on her story a bit
later).
The persistent good news on vitamin D in the past few years and Dr. Rodier’s
insistence that we needed a separate 1000 IU vitamin D product made this kat’s
ears perk up when Dr. Sorenson’s name came up.
You see, he wrote a book about his ongoing research on the health benefits of
vitamin D (Solar
Power: For Optimal Health!).
So we set up an interview and here’s how it went.
OHC: What led to your dedication to health and your research on vitamin D?
MS: I was interested in health from the time I was a child. I grew up
on a ranch, which means I ate a lot of dairy and meat. Every winter I became ill
with colds and flu. I missed a lot of school, and my spirits suffered, too.
However, in spite of my atrocious eating habits, I was never ill in the summer.
I began to realize that there was something healthful about early spring
through early autumn; it was my “healthy time.” November through March was my
“unhealthy time.”
For the longest time I couldn’t understand why the summer season kept me
well. On a trip through the mountains of Utah about 30 years ago, I was trying
to tune in some music on the car radio and serendipitously ran across an
interview with Dr. Zane Kime, who was touting the benefits of sunlight.
The “light” began to come on in my head that it was sunlight that had helped
me to stay well in the sunnier, warmer months. Now I believe that my “cold
weather illnesses were caused by lack of sunlight, and thus vitamin D, in the
winter.

Vicki's Story: The Power of Good Bugs & Vitamin D
As I was completing my interview with Dr. Sorenson, Vicki wanted to say hello
and let me know about her own story with our Probiotics 16.
OHC: So tell us about your experience with Probiotics 16.
VS: I wouldn’t go a day without taking this product, which I take
three times a day. My cupboards are full of failed products that were supposed
to help me with chronic yeast infections, intestinal problems, and a general
sense of feeling lousy, which was so unlike me!
Last year after many struggles with systemic yeast and constipation and all
the wonderful challenges that come with Candida, Dr. Rodier told me I had a bad
gut -- meaning an overgrowth of yeast and not enough good bacteria.
My husband was in the middle of writing Solar Power
for Optimal Health, and suggested I get my vitamin D levels checked, too.
We were surprised that my vitamin D levels were dangerously low. We eat right, exercise, but
with my olive skin, I was not absorbing enough D from the sun.
Dr. Rodier prescribed 50,000 IU of vitamin D per week along with your
Probiotics 16 three times daily to help heal my gut.
After 8 weeks my vitamin D blood levels were in
the "excellent" category, and thanks to your Probiotics that yeast is a thing of
the past, and years of constipation are GONE!
I have tried other probiotics but none were as effective. I am really hooked
on this product and hope you always keep it in stock.
I now take a smaller amount of vitamin D daily and feel like a new person.
This book has not only helped the thousands all over the world, but the author's
own wife!
OHC: So, how do you feel being interviewed by a kat?
VS: I love the Kat, purrr's and meows. So clever and makes us feel
like family!
